Professional narrative

Acta non verba. Deeds, not words.

Professor Mansoor Khan is a consultant trauma and general surgeon, currently Regional Medical Director for Iqarus — the conflict and post-conflict delivery arm of International SOS — overseeing clinical governance, patient care standards, CPD, protocols, audits and multi-region harmonisation. He is Honorary Professor of General Surgery at Brighton & Sussex Medical School and Visiting Professor of Security Science and Technology at Imperial College London.

A veteran of the Royal Navy, he rose to Surgeon Commander after more than twenty years’ service: NATO deployments in the Baltic and North Sea, the Northern Arabian Gulf, the 2003 Gulf War, Afghanistan in 2011, 2013 and 2014, and a UN mission in South Sudan. Following FRCS (2010), he completed a high-volume tour at Camp Bastion and a Trauma Critical Care Fellowship at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, before appointment as Consultant General Surgeon in the UK Defence Medical Services. His military team received the Military Civilian Health Partnership Team of the Year award in 2014.

Alongside clinical leadership, Professor Khan directs and examines internationally renowned trauma courses — including DSTS at the Royal College of Surgeons of England — contributes to motorsport trauma cover including the Abu Dhabi Formula 1 Grand Prix, and advises across industry, MedTech and sustainability. That same life now fills his writing: twenty books carry his name — four works of medical nonfiction that train the clinicians who follow, and sixteen novels, written as M. A. Khan, drawn from rooms most writers can only imagine.
